New Brunswick and Nova Scotia united to form a new country. This was a very important event in history that created very important people. It is very much debatable who the real father of confederation is, for example you could argue Sir John A Macdonald was more important in uniting the provinces. Debating, who is the real father of confederation is rather pointless because Sir George Étienne Cartier is the real father of confederation. George Etienne Cartier was born on September 6, 1814 in St

The Success of the First Two Labour Governments was Outweighed by the Failures in Britain The success of Labour's governments during its two terms in power, in the 1920's easily outweighed its failures and shortcomings, in Britain.

Canada’s history is rich and full of many characters. One such character is Sir John A. Macdonald. He was the first prime minister of Canada and is the most controversial to this date. Many people state that he is a hero of Canada, while others think of him as a drunk racist. Although the arguments against him are weak and do not consider things from his point of view. Sir John A.

Open protest, conflicting interests, lives changed forever. This is a rebellion. You’re willing to fight the authorities to be heard. Armed rebellion is only justifiable if nothing else works.

Renaming schools named John A. Macdonald Today’s issue with schools named after our first prime minister, John A.
